Daycare

How long did it take you guys to send your babies to daycare, if you did so.

I’m 5 weeks pp and financially not the best and might just return to work sooner then I wished. But I’m scared of giving him to someone else for a few hours considering he can’t speak and defend his self

Do you have a trusted family member maybe a sister or an aunt? Personally I waited until my children were three years old and able to express themselves and go to the bathroom by themselves. But I understand you want to work soon. There are some programs that would help pay the family member for childcare services, depending on your state.

Struggling FTM

Hi I am a first time mom and I am struggling right now. My baby is almost 6 months old and fighting his naps so bad and it’s breaking my heart seeing him get so upset. I am exhausted, sad, and feel so alone. I don’t know what to do.

If you’ve got a boyfriend/husband…

Does his lack of common sense at home ever make you question how he is so successful in his work

I love my husband but I really do question his critical thinking sometimes especially when it comes to the kids and completing basic tasks 😂

Need ideas

I’m a SAHM with a 2 month old baby boy and I can get bored pretty quickly lol. Yes, I keep our house clean, the laundry done, have watched multiple shows, and we go visit my grandmother every Thursday…. but I need something more. What are some ideas to do that I can take my 2 month old to do with me to get out of the house before I go crazy! lol

P.S. I do live in Texas and it is HOT right now, so going on walks isn’t an option at this moment as I don’t want to keep my LO in the heat for so long.

i’m starting to realize

being a sahm or mom who’s with the babies/kids the most means you get zero sick days. i don’t get sick a bunch but when i do i still have to take care of my toddler 24/7. i have food poisoning? oh well, my husband won’t call out of work and i still have to get everything done in between the bathroom runs. my husband has gout or body aches? he’s out for the count ALLLLLL DAY. sleeping mainly. and kind of a dick. i can’t even remember the last time I’ve even slept past 7am. but he does it on the regular.

3yo gets ignored by other kids

My 3yo is super friendly and will approach other kids to play. Some will play with him but the majority just point blank ignore him and avoid him. It really makes me sad for him. Why are kids so antisocial? I really hope this doesn't crush his confidence in the long term future.

Just wondering are your kids the social butterfly or the antisocial one...

Cheating

My boyfriend of 2 and a half years told me he's just been diagnosed with herpes but doesn't know where from. A month later 2 weeks before my birthday he told me he's did in fact cheat but doesn't think it's from her. We don't have any kids together. What would you guys do. FYI I've been tested I'm all clear. I'm so devastated. It hasn't been a perfect relationship we've gone through many ups and downs and he's told me before that he wasn't happy. I didn't prioritise him enough. Whilst I've been dealing with uni, single mom life, grief, a short term job, and my own social life. Doesn't help that it was long distance. So I couldn't always commit to seeing him every weekend. I feel like it was all me. I'm just reminiscing the good times and he was amazing with my little one. He had a good job and provided for us
